AECP Level 3 - Stencils

For this homework assignment I used Stencil Art: Charming Delight layering stencil set and Sketched Lines stencil. I created this card after taking #altenewacadamy class Stunningly Styled Stencils and All About Layering  - stencils edition. I incorporated several of the lessons in this card, including flipping the stencil over, using embossing paste through a stencil, stenciling the image, and fussy cutting. 

I colored the embossing paste with Desert Night Watercolor marker pigment. I used Fresh Dye inks that correspond to the colors in the #altenewinspirationchallenge and even added a little Iridescent Shimmer spray to the flower bouquet to account for the snow in the inspiration photo.

I really like how this turned out. What do you think?

Let's get Krafty Challenge #163



To participate in Double Trouble Challenge #163 - Let the Troubles Begin  I began by using Kraft cardstock as my card base. (Thing 1) I watercolored the debossed side of my card panel. Inspired by Inspiration Station Prompt #60 photo of the world in hands  I chose to color all the area around the florals (continents) blue ( Starlight Alcohol marker) symbolic of the water that fills our earth. (Thing 2- Double Dare) The blue around my image is for Thing 3 - shades of blue. Lastly I added Iridescent Shimmer Spray to simulate the shine of water.





 Let me know your thoughts.
